Monohan
solemn
authoritative
reverent
ritualistic
Reverend Monohan commands the pulpit in Washington National Cathedral's vaulted hush, intoning the Resurrection prayer as grief clamps President Bartlet and his staff in iron silence. Abbey steadies a hollow-eyed Jed; Leo, Toby, C.J., Charlie absorb the ritual's weight. Monohan rises from the front pew, layperson escorting him to deliver words of eternal defiance against death for Mrs. Landingham. Music surges; he pivots, spearheading the casket procession—hoisted by Toby, Sam, Josh, Charlie, two others—trailing tears from Donna, Margaret, Carol as C.J. bows and Bartlet fractures inwardly. Solemn shepherd through loss's raw corridor, Monohan anchors ecclesiastical rite amid White House mourning's storm.
